Methodist Clmrcli Notes
Reuben Cm*. Pastor
Services for Sunday. November 28:
Morning worship at 10 o'clock, Siunday school at 11:15, Ftpwrrth League
at 6:30, evening worship at 7:30.
Thursday, Thanksgiving service at
7:30, a,tf which time suitable music
will be rendered, the President's proclamation read, and the Rev. S. T.
Dunk of the Federated chunch will
preach. This is the annual union sier-
vice, whiich falls this year to thie
Methodist church, and the people of
the village and vicinity are cordially
invited.
Need for a place to store shredded
{odder has resulted in the development by the agricultural engineering
department at Michigan State col-i
lege of plans for use in the construction of a low cost silo which will
successfully   store   the  material.
This method will meet the needs of
farmers in sections infested by "corn,
borer, when the farmers want to
husk a part of their corn and provide
for the destruietion of the "borers in
the stalks.
The ,silo is built of sheet iron, attached to an octogonal frame of two
by fours which are bolted at the
corners. These two by fours form
the hoops and are spaced about three
feet apart on the silo. The iron is
attached to the inside of the hoops.
The silo is built on the ground, and
raised to position by the use of a
gin pole ancl tadkle. This saves the
expense of erecting expensive scaffolds. Materials for a 10 by 39 foot
-■ilo will cost approximately one hundred dollars.
The owner of .one of these silos
will not be compelled to d'elaiy husking corn when the fodder is wet, it
is said. The corn can be husked at
any time., and the silo will take care
of the fodder so that it will not -spoil.
Low cost of materials and erection
are expected to result in a numiber
of the silos being built. The Department of Agricultural Engineering,'
M. S. C, East Lansing, will be .glad
to answer any inquiries on construe-'
tion or materials.

e<*—-ating them. S'le h?s been abroad
to „„udy the problem there and gave
a very comprehensive description of
conditions at home and abroad. She
also related many amusing incidents

POTATO TIEBD
The production of the potato, which
for more than 200 years has been
one of the staple field and garden
crops of the United States, has kept
pace with the growth in population
on the basis of about 3a2 bushels
per capita. In recent years there
has been an increase in the per-acre
yield of potatoes. Reports for October indicate an acre yield of 109 6
bushels for 1926. The average for
the 5-yeai* period' 1921-25 was_ 106.9
bushels. Inicreased yields are attributed to seed selection and treatment, better fertilization, improved
cultivation, and crop rotation.
